This is wonderful news. The key thing people are missing is that TikTok is not being held responsible for the video content itself, they are being held responsible for their own code's actions. The video creator didn't share (or even attempt to share) the video with the victim- TikTok did. If adults want to subscribe themselves to that content, that is their choice. Hell, if kids actively seek out that content themselves, I don't think companies should be responsible if they find it. But if the company itself is the one proactively choosing to show that content to kids, that is 100% on them. This narrative of being blind to the vagaries of their own code is playing dumb at best: we all know what the code we write does, and so do they. They just don't want to admit that it's impossible to moderate that much content themselves with automatic recommendation algorithms. They could avoid this particular issue entirely by just showing people content they choose to subscribe to, but that doesn't allow them to inject content-based ads to a much broader audience, by showing that content to people who have not expressed interest/ subscribed to that content. And that puts this on them as a business.
